This is INCREDIBLY stupid. 81% of all Android devices are on version 4. Yes they are split between versions 4.0,4.1,4.2, etc but they are all pretty similar. Saying only 3.5% are on the current version is misleading as ****. (btw it is 5.3% not 3.5%) I notice you don't mention the stats for iOS 7.1 but instead lump it in with iOS 7.0
As someone who develops for both platforms I can tell you that it makes almost no difference if someone is on Android 4.1 or 4.4. Just like iOS 7.0 and 7.1
EDIT: Oh and the 19% of the Android users on old versions are cheap knock off tablets and such. It's damn hard to find anyone in the US with a phone that isn't on version 4
The "fragmentation" argument is all sorts of stupid these days.
